Phillies Vince Velasquez records outfield assist, diving catch

The Phillies and White Sox went deep into the night, technically into Saturday morning, with an extra-inning classic.

With Zach Eflin on second base with two outs in the 13th Gabe Kapler swapped out Eflin for a much more athletic Vince Velasquez. Unfortunately, Velasquez didn’t get an opportunity to run and was put into the field

Roman Quinn would move onto the mound and Velasquez to left field with no one else able to pitch out of the bullpen. With one out in the 14th, Velasquez uncorked an unbelievable throw to home that kept the game alive.
